Frequently Asked Questions
What is Polyken 105C tape used for?
Polyken 105C is a multi-purpose double-coated cloth tape used for carpet hold-down at convention centers and entertainment venues, hanging and splicing poly sheeting, general mounting and holding, and aerospace mounting applications per Boeing BAC5034-4.
Is Polyken 105C a double-sided tape?
Yes. Polyken 105C is double-coated, meaning it carries a natural rubber adhesive on both sides of an 11 mil cloth carrier, providing two bonding surfaces with high tack and aggressive adhesion.
Is Polyken 105C flame retardant?
No. Polyken 105C is approved to Boeing BAC5034-4 Section 5.1.a(1)(a) — the temporary, non-flame-retardant provision. For aircraft cabin carpet installation requiring flame retardance, use Polyken 108FR, which meets FAR 25.853(a) and Boeing BMS 5-133.
